PREVENTATIVE STEPNanaimo manon aid mission held by Israelis

BY TOBY GORMANTHE NEWS BULLETIN

T h e f a m i ly o f aNanaimo resident cur-rently being detained by Israeli officials is calling for his immediate releasewith the help of theCanadian government.

Jim Manly, a formertwo-ter m VancouverIsland NDP member ofparliament (1980-1988), was aboard the marinevessel Estelle when it was boarded by Israeliofficials in internationalwaters near Egypt on Saturday.

According to PaulManly, Jim’s son, sev-eral people aboard the Estelle were carrying out a humanitarian missionto Gaza with aid supplies for children.

Paul Manly worriesthat the boarding of the Estelle was not as peace-ful as Israel claims – he believes people were tasered and handcuffedand left in uncomfort-able positions for hours– and that the event may –have detrimental affects on his father’s health.

“He is still in an Israeli jail,” said Paul Manly Monday. “We’re con-cerned about his health,he’s turning 80 next Mon-day, so he’s not a young guy anymore.”

Jim Manly, who lives with his wife Eva inNanaimo, left from Van-couver Oct. 3 to join the Estelle in Italy Oct. 4.Others aboard the shipinclude MPs from Nor-way, Sweden, Greece andSpain.

Eva said she did receive a message on her cellphone late Monday morning from her hus-band, who said his treat-ment “was not bad” and that he had decided to remain in Israel with 17 shipmates to show soli-darity for another mem-ber of the group who hadreportedly been tasered by Israeli officials.

“Jim assured me heis well,” she said. “Theinterrogation was rough, but he felt he came through OK.

“Some people from the Estelle have left, butthose remaining havedecided they will stayuntil Dror Feiler, from Sweden, who is being held for additional inter-rogation, can be releasedand leave with them.”

Paul Manly added his father was aware theship might be detained by Israeli officials.

The Manlys are ask-ing the Canadian gov-ernment to arrange his release.

Construction begins to connect reserve with waterBY CHRIS BUSHTHE NEWS BULLETIN

Snuneymuxw First Nation Indian Reserve No. 2 is being hooked up to Nanaimo’s watersupply.

The water infrastructure project will connect the reserve to water supply lines at 1125 Cedar Rd. to provide a steady supply of potable drinking water to the reserve.

Water has been trucked to thecommunity for more than 20 years

after groundwater contamination was discovered and the wells onthe reserve were closed.

A groundbreaking ceremony,attended by representatives from the city and the Snuneymuxwband council – and including a blessing by Gary Manson, Snuneymuxw spiritual advisor – was held on Cedar Road to kick off construction Monday morn-ing.

“I want everyone to know what this means to our people, what

it means to me as the chief ofthe Snuneymuxw First Nation,the work of my council over so many years, to address whatis a really critical need for ourpeople for safe drinking water – for an effective, efficient supplyof water,” said Doug White III, Snuneymuxw First Nation Chief.

White said one reason so muchof the reserve remains undevel-oped is due to a lack of water andsewage infrastructure.

Plan outlines education opportunities

BY JENN McGARRIGLETHE NEWS BULLETIN

A dog and a smoke alarm savedthe day for the occupants of two central Nanaimo houses Sunday.

The first incident happened justafter midnight when a detached shed next to a rancher on Pheas-ant Terrace caught fire and dam-aged the exterior of the house.

Ennis Mond, fire investigatorwith Nanaimo Fire Rescue, said the cause of the fire is still underinvestigation, but it is not consid-ered suspicious.

A neighbour discovered the blaze after getting up to see why his dog was barking.

If the dog had not alerted theman to the blaze, fire crews couldhave been dealing with a housefire as well as shed fire, said Mond.

The shed was heavily damaged and the house had three crackedwindows and minor burns to itswood siding from the heat of the fire. There were also three explo-sions associated with the blaze – anine-kilogram propane cylinder, a

paint can and a small butane cyl-inder were destroyed.

The elderly couple who lived inthe house are fully insured.

The second fire happenedshortly after 7 a.m. on SeafieldCrescent.

Sofa cushions and a cotton shirthad been placed on an in-floorelectric heater, said Mond, andwhen the heater turned on, theitems caught fire.

The smoke alarm alerted thetenant and three friends whohad spent the night and theyattempted to put the fire out withpots and pans before the renterthrew the burning materials outthe window.

All four were taken to hospi-tal and treated for minor smokeinhalation – the man who pickedup the flaming materials also hadminor burns to his hands – andthen released.

“The smoke alarm worked andthat’s what saved them,” saidMond, adding it’s a good lessonto keep combustibles away fromheaters.

The two-storey house had fire damage in the living room andsmoke damage to its upper floor,but the renter returned to thehouse after being released fromhospital.

Nanaimo will be a muchdifferent place in 25 years.

Not only will it lookdifferent, but how people move within the city will also change.

Because of this expecta-tion, the city is embark-ing on a one-year journey to establish a transporta-tion master plan, a projectthat will guide transpor-tation decision-making for the city for the nextquarter century and willrecommend improve-ments for all modes of transportation.

Already, the city has hosted a number of online surveys to iden-tify various travel pat-terns across the city, and responses from those sur-veys will help serve theplan moving forward, saidCoun. George Anderson,who sits on the city’s transportation advisorycommittee.

In 2008, the transporta-tion master plan was identified as a priority inthe official communityplan. It was also consid-ered a priority in the recently approved cor-porate strategic plan for 2012-2015.

To assist it with creat-ing the plan, the city hashired Urban Systems, a B.C.-based company that has helped other B.C.cities meet their futuretransportation goals.

“Urban Systems is areputable company that has worked on several projects such as the Seato Sky Highway, the UBCcampus transit plan and the metro Vancouvercycling network,” saidAnderson. “Urban Systems will be working with the transportation advisory committee and

staff to deliver the planover the next year.”

The plan is being devel-oped in conjunction withthe Transit Future Plan that is being preparedin a parallel process bythe Regional District of Nanaimo and B.C.Transit.

John Steiner, spokes-man for Urban Systems, said extensive community consultation and existing city policy will deter-mine the outcome of thetransportation plan (see sidebar).

“Making sure the city

has a plan that is imple-mentable and affordableis a key part of the pro-cess,” said Steiner.

The process officiallybegan Monday, and willinclude six phases con-cluding next fall. The initial phase will takeinto stock work already completed by staff, the transportation advisorycommittee and results from the online survey.

“One of the key items we’ll address is mode oftravel, both within thecity and to and from thecity,” said Steiner.

“We’ll establish some targets to make surethey’re in alignment with Nanaimo’s vision andgoals and that they’re consistent with modechanges ... from driving to perhaps other modesof transportation that are more desirable in caseslike transit, walking and cycling.”

Nanaimo Mayor JohnRuttan said that as thecity grows – Nanaimo’s population is expected to reach 100,000 people with-in the next few years – issues like transportation become more complex.

“The transportation master plan ensures that the city’s transportation system meets our needsover the next five, 10and 20 years and works toward the city’s goal ofbeing a more sustainablecommunity,” said Ruttan. “Our transportationissues will become more complex and more impor-tant.”

According to Statistics Canada, 78 per cent ofNanaimo residents trans-port themselves with anautomobile, two per centcycle, seven per cent walk and three per cent take public transit.

City embarks on transportation plan

NEWS BULLTIN FILE

A transportation master plan will not only change the look of Nanaimo, but also the way people move within the city.

New toolhelps process

The city is implementing a new tool to help with public consultation duringthe planning processof the transportationmaster plan, as well as more traditional methods of engaging residents.

PlaceSpeak (www.placespeak.com) isan online community consultation platform that allows residentsto voice their opinionsand receive informationon topics that are important to them.

Former B.C. premier Mike Harcourt also endorses PlaceSpeak.

“PlaceSpeak createsa whole new way of expanding publicparticipation,” he said.

It’s the first project the city will use PlaceSpeak to gaugepublic opinion on aproject.

A more conventionalopen house will take place on Oct. 30 inthe multi-purposeroom at Wellington Secondary School,and online surveys will be collected until Nov. 16 at www.nanaimo.ca/goto/transportationplan.

District continues work on Wellington seismic projectBY JENN McGARRIGLE

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo school district staff are working hard to get final approval for the Wellington Secondary School seis-mic upgrade project.

The goal is to have the project develop-ment report completed and submitted tothe Education Ministry by Nov. 30 – at the ministry’s request – with the hope that final approval would happen aboutthree months after that, said Pete Sabo,

director of planning and operations.He said the project development report

outlines the scope and cost of the proj-ect, including what to do with students during the construction phase, and itis the final step – staff just finished areport detailing what seismic upgrades are needed – before a capital project agreement approving the release of money can be signed with the EducationMinistry.

“That report is our final recommen-dation to the ministry and it’s proof to

the ministry that we know what we’redoing,” said Sabo.

Once the district has the money, itmust then find a company to do thework before the project gets started, hesaid.

Jamie Brennan, school board chair-man, said trustees are eager to completethis project.

“The opportunity is that we’re going to be able to make that school safe,” he said. “It is a pretty tight timeline. There’s an element of risk in this fast

tracking, but we want this projectdone.”

The district initially received pre-liminary approval for the upgrades at Wellington in 2005, but in 2007, the district tied it to the previous facilities renewal plan, which was then voted down in 2008.

The old plan had called for an expan-sion of the school as well as the upgrade so that another high school in the dis-trict could be closed.

www.bclocalnews.com Lunney describestrip as ‘ill-advised’◆ From /1

“So far we haven’tbeen able to get in touch with either (Minister of ForeignAffairs) John Baird or Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper’s office,”said Paul Manly.

Nanaimo-Alber ni C o n s e r vat ive M P James Lunney, for-mer chairman of the Canada-Israel Inter-parliamentary Group,is on record calling the Estelle’s voyage “ill-advised,” a “fool-hardy quest” and that violence against Israelvia weapons smug-gling in Gaza “makes the mission of theEstelle a farce.”

Lunney said theIsraeli blockade of Gaza is legal under inter national lawand that the 1.5 mil-lion Palestinians liv-ing there are truckedgoods constantly from Israel.

“The government’s position is that thosewishing to contributegoods to Gaza should do so through estab-lished channels and authorized efforts,” Lunney told the Bul-letin. “It shouldn’tsurprise anyone thatMr. Manly’s propa-ganda stunt ended upthe way it did and nowhe’s crying out for con-sular assistance. He’ll be very well treated in Israel and, you know,

a boat full of soccerballs probably won’tprovide great humani-tarian relief to people in Gaza.”

Last spring Jim and Eva Manly took part in a Pilgrimage of Sol-idarity to the occupied territory of the Pales-tinian West Bank.

Paul Manly said his father agreed to sail onthe Estelle at the last moment when a spot on the ship opened up,adding his father was inspired to help the children of Gaza after spending time with his grandson prior toleaving for Italy.

“He said that this reinforced for him his conviction that all children have a rightto grow up healthyand with the possibil-ity of a future,” said Paul Manly.

As an MP represent-ing Cowichan-Mala-hat-the Islands, a for-mer B.C. coastal rid-ing, Jim Manly served as the NDP’s critic for Indian Affairs, Fisher-ies and InternationalDevelopment.

◆ From /1The project is a col-

laboration betweenthe City of Nanaimo and Snuneymuxw First Nation that started in 2010 whenthe city announcedplans for a new water treatment facility.

White said the $500,000 cost of theproject is being paidfor by the Snuney-muxw band and is one small step in helping the Snuneymuxwpeople to unlock thefull potential of their land.

The agreement tohook up the reserve to city water was 20years in the making.

“There are a lot of reasons for it and one is that we wanted totry and tie it in with

additional supply of water,” said John Rut-tan, Nanaimo Mayor.“We worked very closely with ChiefWhite in acquiring some Crown land for our water treatmentplant and without hishelp it’s questionablewhether we would have been able to achieve what we’vedone. We took this as a step forward and the city then worked veryclosely in providing the water here as partof the overall agree-ment.”

Doug White, Snuneymuxw band councillor, said theband can do things on its own, but can dothings better togetherwith the city.

THE NEWS BULLETIN

All systems are go at theNanaimo Airport after its emer-gency preparedness was put tothe test in a live exercise last Thursday.

During the exercise, an air-plane crash was simulated using a van carrying volunteer pas-sengers. Emergency responsewas provided by local emergency response teams such as the B.C. Ambulance Service, RCMP, and Cranberry and North Cedar Fire departments, who secured thearea and extracted ‘victims’.

“It went very well, and we were very pleased with the results from all the people involved,”said Mike Hooper, Nanaimo Air-port president and CEO. “Safetyis our number one priority and exercises like this provide the

opportunity for multiple localagencies and the airport to testtheir individual response plans and gain key learning to respondto an emergency situation involv-ing an aircraft.”

The live exercise is completedonce every three to four years while a table-top version of thescenario is held on an annualbasis.

“We always have excellentlearning [from it],” Hooper said. “It’s a continuous improvement process, and ensures that we’re working as a team and that com-munications are working well.”

Coincidentally, the exercisetook place Oct. 18 – the same timeas the Great British ColumbiaShakeOut.

An amendment to the CoastalFerries Services contract calls for $30 million in savings in services and ferry operations. The first step identifies $4 million in savings on 98 return trips on three routes, mostly on the Duke Point-Tsawwassen run. Return trips at 5:15 a.m and 5:45p.m. have been cancelled for 12 Sat-urdays.

“The historical traffic we receive

on those sailings should be easily absorbed by the sailings that are next to them,” said Guenette.

There are a further 18 round-tripcancellations on the 7 p.m. Depar-ture Bay-Horseshoe Bay route fromMondays to Thursdays.

“I expect a lot of people, even if they’re familiar with sailing, theygenerally would double checkschedules,” Guenette said. “It isduring low-utilized wintertime, so it doesn’t affect any of the popular (summer) sailings.”

The cuts are expected to save $4million. The remaining $26 millioncan come from any of the major orminor routes.

The province also announced a fall consultation process withcommunities where officials will discuss service levels on minor routes.

They have been provid-ing support services for abused children for thepast six months, but withrenovations now com-plete at their Bowen Road office, the Vancouver Island Suspected ChildAbuse and Neglect pro-gram held its grand open-ing earlier this week.

Located at 39-1925Bowen Road, VI SCAN provides non-urgent health evaluation andassessment for children or youth who may havebeen maltreated, training for professionals, as wellas providing guidanceand support in collecting and documenting foren-sic child maltreatmentevidence for use in court.

Since opening in April,the program has receivedmore than 90 referrals.

“This is a service thatis vital, it’s important, and we missed it whenwe didn’t have it avail-able,” said Doug Hillian,director of practice forthe Ministry of Children and Family Develop-ment’s Vancouver Island region. “It meant that wehad to take kids to [B.C.

Children’s Hospital] inVancouver. That involvedincreased inconvenience and possibly added totrauma for them in somecases.”

Having the programhere in Nanaimo is a huge advantage with its cen-tral location, as familiesare referred from acrossVancouver Island and will have less to travel forhelp, Hillian said.

The VI SCAN pro-gram is administered by the Vancouver IslandHealth Authority, underan annual contract with the Ministry of Children and Family Development.It formerly ran as theHealth Assessment andResources for Childrenprogram in Victoria until2009, when it was sus-pended due to a lack of pediatricians available to

take the job on.That’s where pediatri-

cian Dr. Wilma Arrudacomes in. Hired in 2011,she now leads the four-person team which alsoincludes a nurse, social worker and administra-tive assistant.

“We basically had to start from scratch to develop the program,” shesaid. “We had to locateand renovate a space. We

even changed the name.”Funds for the renova-

tion, which includesinterview, assessment and medical examination rooms, were provided bythe Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation tothe tune of $210,000. An additional $38,000 has been provided for the team to travel across theIsland to raise awareness about the program.

“The hospital founda-tion is pleased that we could offer support to VISCAN and, in turn, helpprovide a safe haven forthe most vulnerable mem-bers of our society,” said foundation chairwomanChristine McAuley, in a press release.

Sharing the facilitywith VI SCAN is the Central Island Child andAdolescent PsychiatryProgram, a team headed by child and youth psy-chiatrist Dr. Rex Bower-ing. That program is a unique, interdisciplinary mental health service forchildren, youth and their families. It supports chil-dren and youth who are experiencing serious, complex psychiatric chal-lenges.

Retired judge Thomas Braid-wood is “very pleased with theresponse” to his recommenda-tions on the use of Taser stun guns by police in the wake of Rob-ert Dziekanski’s death in 2007.

Braidwood testified last weekbefore a legislature commit-tee, after a senior RCMP officialreported on training and proce-dure changes that led to an 87-percent reduction in use of Tasers to subdue people.

Braidwood emphasized that hestands by the core finding of his inquiry, which is that police in

B.C. should continue to use themwith new training and strict newrules.

Those provincewide rulesinclude requiring police to deter-mine that the subject is causing bodily harm or is about to, andmandate that “de-escalation” orcrisis intervention techniques betaught and used before a Taser isdeployed.

He described a basic technique that could have been used whenfour Richmond RCMP officersapproached a distraught Dzieka-nski at Vancouver International Airport. If one of those officershad simply pulled up a chair andsat down, Braidwood said, Dzieka-

nski would likely be alive today.Similar techniques can defuse

even violent domestic disputes,rightly considered by police tobe their most dangerous calls, said Braidwood, a former pros-ecutor who went on to serve as aB.C. Supreme Court and Court ofAppeal justice.

The Taser rules also requirepolice to have an automated defi-brillator in the car, or in a super-visor’s vehicle in communities of5,000 people or less. Independenttesting of the stun guns is also required, and the rules apply to all municipal police in B.C. as well.

On Oct. 15, RCMP Assistant

Commissioner Randy Beck toldthe committee that new training began in 2011. By then the falloutfrom the Dziekanski case had led to a steep decrease in use ofTasers.

Braidwood noted that so far there has not been a correspond-ing increase in police use ofguns.

“Have more police officers been injured while restraining violent subjects, or have officersdiscovered that other tools in their arsenal, such as training incrisis intervention techniques, have resolved many of these potentially dangerous confronta-tions without resorting to use of

conducted energy weapons?” heasked. “It would appear to be a fruitful area for more research.”

Braidwood’s inquiry led notonly to new Taser procedures, butalso the establishment of B.C.’snew Independent InvestigationsOffice, the civilian-led agencythat began work this summer to take control of all police-involvedincidents that result in death or serious bodily harm.

Braidwood said the steps taken since his inquiry have filled a gapin the civilian oversight of policethat is “a fundamental tenet thatdistinguishes Canada from totali-tarian or dictatorial states.”

Taser recommendations to police workingTT

Nanaimo school trusteesare in favour of a plan thataims to make affordable,quality child care availableto all B.C. families.

At a recent educationcommittee meeting, trust-ees discussed a plan devel-oped by the Coalition ofChild Care Advocates andthe Early Childhood Edu-cators of B.C. that calls fora $10/day public child-careprogram amongst otherthings.

The group claims thatcurrently, the province haslicensed child care spacesfor just 20 per cent of chil-dren.

Such a program would allow more people to par-ticipate in the workforcewith the comfort of know-ing their children arelooked after in qualityenvironments, said JamieBrennan, school boardchairman.

“It’s good social policy as well as good economicpolicy,” he said.

The only concern trust-ees have is that the prov-ince fully fund the initia-tive, if approved.

The education commit-tee is recommending theboard support the plan.

The provincial government has taken an important step toward reducing the cost of higher education by endorsingopen textbooks for 40 college anduniversity courses in the first and secondyear.

This is solid recognition that the costof textbooks is a severe impedimenttoward getting an education withoutgoing to an unrealistic level of debt.Textbooks shoot up in price each year, it seems, and instructors require them forcourses. Yet, they often have little or noresale value, nor are they useful to most students in the longer term.

There are many other areas of highereducation also needing a good look,including student debt. Tuition fees havegone up steadily under the B.C. Liberals, and while they do need to rise, theprovince must balance the cost of tuition with other factors such as the cost of living.

Another area the province must deal with is the types of non-academiccourses and training being offered.

Given news that a B.C. coal mine is importing workers from China, becauseB.C. apparently cannot supply trained workers, this must become a high priority.

There is no way that B.C. should beimporting miners from China to work in coal mines here – whether the mines are owned by Chinese companies or not.

Training in many other fields also must be expanded. There is a need for highly-trained people in construction, computerdesign, aerospace, millwright work and many other fields.

The B.C. government needs to examineif more focus should go into this training,and less on academic courses – giventhat many university graduates arefinding it difficult to obtain jobs in their fields without going back to school for amaster’s degree.

Advanced education has a directbearing on B.C.’s future – economically and socially. It must be a priority.

C A N A D I A NCOMMUNITYNEWSPAPERAWARD 2012

It has been some time since I’ve used this space to get a few thingsoff my chest, so here are somebeefs that have been bugging me.

◆While I understand that the

smokers’ world in terms of where they can light up is shrinking so quickly that they are feeling a little persecuted, they have toremember it’s for the good of us all.

They can’t smoke in public buildings, inparks, on beaches orso many metres from adoorway. There’s evena push to prevent them from smoking in carsif children are pres-ent. Their own homes,if a multi-family unit, might even be off lim-its.

It seems the greatoutdoors (excluding said park andbeaches) appears to be the only place smokers can light up with-out too much problem.

That’s fine … the outdoors belongs to all of us and I can hold my breath for a few seconds if Ipass a smoker.

My problem is when they finish their smoke and flick the butt intothe street, on the sidewalk or onsomebody’s lawn. Just becausesmokers are allowed to smoke incertain areas doesn’t mean it’stheir right to discard their litterwherever they please.

I was out for a walk in myneighbourhood and a cigarette butt caught my eye in the first

couple of steps. I started counting all the discarded butts I saw andwas up to more than 50 in four blocks. Granted the majority of them were in an empty lot and noton the street, but these smokersstill finished and flicked without a second thought to littering and private property.

I quickly lost interest in count-ing and briefly consid-ered that a good neigh-bour would pick thebutts up rather than just complain about it.

But with rental prop-erties, I get my share of cleaning up otherpeople’s cigarette mess. I was actually quiteamazed that with thedry summer we had,my front lawns or theditches didn’t go up in flames with the

amount of cigarettes I found.However, the most distasteful

scene I’ve come across in terms of cigarette butts is at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. The Vancouver Island HealthAuthority’s rules don’t allow smoking on the hospital ground (ajoke in terms of enforcement) so smokers head to the sidewalks for their break.

While at the hospital, I watcheda security guard stop on the side-walk on Dufferin Crescent, lightup a smoke and begin reading abook. After he finished, he flicked,not even bothering to extinguishit. Multiply that by all the staffmembers to take a cigarette break

and you have a huge mess on theroads.

An since those roads are the responsibility of the city and notVIHA, the public using the side-walks must wade through the lit-ter until city crews get around to sweeping it up.

Preventing second hand smokearound NRGH is a great initiative, but the health authority and itsemployees have to be responsible for more than just litter on thehospital grounds.

◆I have heard over Facebook that

there have been three cougarsightings in the Lantzville/North Nanaimo areas in recent weeks. Acall to conservation officers fromour newsroom showed that onlyone cougar sighting was reportedto officials.

Now, I don’t know if all the sightings were indeed cougars – Ihave heard of a golden retrieverbeing confused for a big cat inpoor light – but if one takesthe time to post it on Facebook,doesn’t it make sense to let theauthorities know?

Usually cougars are going about their own business and leave humans alone, but I would hate togamble the life of anyone on thatassumption.

Conservation officers have the knowledge and skills to make sureno one is any danger.

Not everyone is on Facebook, but everyone has the right toknow what is going on in theirneighbourhoods.

FLYERFLYERIN TODAYIN TODAY’S

To the Editor,I have, over the past num-

ber of years, been hearing the story about bullying inthe schools and elsewhere, and it’s amusing to hear the government and Canadiancitizens try to capitalize onhow to fix the problem.

It is obvious that bullying has gone on for longer thanI have lived (73 years). It is brought out in large by the environment that the peersof the bullying individu-als live around and with. It probably will not stop, butcan be hindered a lot by theinvolvement of everyone.

My solution to the prob-lem is to get the schools involved. Make the bullies and their parents come toschool, to go in front of anelected/selected group ofstudents to answer why theybully and what are the par-ents going to do about it?

Students today are not afraid of the school system,but being confronted in front of their classmates and parents is a differentstory. Word of mouth would spread fast on getting the word out on this – for a bet-ter word – court appearancein the school system.

We have to do something and this is a good place to start.

Government cuts threaten lives

To the Editor,The world has become

too small for an ‘us versusthem’ perspective.

Yet when the StephenHarper government dispro-portionately cuts develop-

ment aid, the implication is they – the world’s children – do not matter.

At the 2010 G8 Summit, Canada pledged increasedsupport for child and mater-nal aid, and yet slashed theaid budget. The argumentis austerity, but the $300million they have cut is the price of a single new fighter jet the government wants topurchase. Three dollars perCanadian per year to save the lives of millions. We know how to make an enor-mous difference with verylittle money.

There might never beenough, but Canada’s aid budget falls far below mostother Western nations, although we have the health-iest economy.

This isn’t necessity, it ischoice.

Three dollars a day – a fighter jet, or countlesshuman lives. The world iswatching and we will be known by the choice ourgovernment makes.

Nathaniel PooleVictoria

All transportationis subsidized

To the Editor, Re: Dream of passenger

rail not viable, Letters, Oct. 18.

J. Sharpe complains about the Island CorridorFoundation’s request tomunicipalities (its members)to help put the railway back into full service, since both the province and the federalgovernments have promised (but not yet delivered) fund-ing assistance to the railway.

He calls this a “never-end-ing pit for taxpayer dollars.”

Sharpe seems unaware of, or happy about, the fact thatall transportation modalitiesare subsidized, except forrail, in most of our country.

The city roads he travelson are entirely paid for by taxpayers, amounting to more than one-third ofour property taxes everyyear. The food he eats likely enjoys subsidies to B.C.Ferries by taxpayers everyyear. Same deal for the local airport, every year. Such is the cost of having a moderntransportation system.

Of all the Western indus-trialized countries, only Canada is tearing up tracks,calling bridge, highway, air-port, ship and ferry termi-nal building “investments” but funding to railways are instead named “subsidies.”

Even developing countries are adding rail transport (attaxpayers’ expense). Why?Because rail is more effi-cient.

As long as taxpayers con-tinue to subsidize car andtruck transport every year,rail will suffer.

It’s past time we became intelligent. For the cost of acup of coffee a year, each of

us could contribute to reduc-ing traffic on the highways and create a modern, inter-modal system of transporta-tion that will save us a lotmore than the existing car-centric system demands.

Ian GartshoreNanaimo

Mining strategyfails B.C. workers

To the Editor,The B.C. Liberals’ latest

mining strategy is to let for-eign companies develop and operate mines using ‘tempo-rary’ Chinese workers.

Maybe Premier Christy Clark plans to ship unem-ployed British Columbians to China to build railroads.

After a few years of apprenticing overseas, theymight be qualified to come home and get a non-union job with a Chinese company.

Clark did promise hergovernment would create jobs and balance the budget, but she failed to mentionthe new jobs would be forChinese workers.

Perhaps she intends to bal-ance the budget by import-ing even more Chinese ‘temps’ to work in B.C.hospitals, B.C. schools, B.C. Hydro and B.C. Ferries.

Hopefully Clark will hire a couple Chinese commu-nist government planners because they have demon-strated an innate talent for strategic planning.

There has got to be a bet-ter long-term strategy for B.C. than importing foreignworkers to hasten the exportour valuable non-renewable natural resources.

To the Editor,The latest fee/tax for recycling includes CFL

and LED energy saving bulbs that B.C. Hydrois so keen for us to use.

While I am all for recycling, the currentsystem in this province leaves much to bedesired. The charge on each item is set arbi-trarily and ranges from more than 27 percent of the purchase price to less than .06 per cent (plus 12 per cent HST). That seems to be unfair at the high end and too low at other.

To make matters worse, this levy can be included in the advertised price of the item orit can be added at the checkout with no warn-ing or notification in advertising or signage.

When you see the price of any item you haveno idea which it’s going to be. We have justmanaged to get truth in advertising for air-line pricing, why is the recycling communitygoing in the opposite direction?

The second problem with the current sys-tem is the amount is set by category, and doesnot reflect the actual recycling cost of any given item. Therefore manufacturers have noincentive to design products that are easy and cheap to recycle.

Although an item can only be recycled once, the recycling fee is charged a second timewhen you buy a refurbished item.

Since reuse is better than recycling, refur-bished items should not have the levy appliedagain.

What we need to do is completely redesignthe financing of the recycling system. The charge should be included in the price of the item and should reflect the actual cost of recy-cling that item.

This would retain ‘truth in advertising’ and,with such an incentive, manufacturers will quickly move to producing goods that areeasy and cheap to recycle. In addition, refur-bished items should be exempt to encourage reuse.

The current recycling fee is just a badly designed tax. The B.C. government has out-sourced its design and collect to industry inthe hope that consumers won’t notice.

Consumers should be up in arms demanding that this recycling fee be recycled.

BY RACHEL STERNTHE NEWS BULLETIN

James Keelaghan is a storyteller.

His tales are woven into folk melodies that

take listeners on an adven-ture to explore the human condition.

“What really inspires memore than anything else is ordinary people in extraor-dinary circumstances,” saidthe s ing er-s o n g w r i t e r. “I love folkmusic, whichis the repo-sitioning of these stories. It’s the natural way to tell sto-ries. I love tell-ing stories.”

Songs like Kiri’s Piano,which is about the Japanesei n t e r n m e n tcamps in theSecond World War, explores someone whosacrifices their prized pos-sessions to maintain theirdignity.

The song was inspired by a conversation with his sis-ter. Other inspiration comesfrom books or talking with friends and family.

Keelaghan said people find their own meaning inhis songs. For example, thesong Your Secret on the Roadtalbum is about an end of an affair and someone taking all the personal effects from theperson and putting them on a bonfire. Keelaghan said aftera performance one of his fans came and told him how

Your Secret helped him deal with his daughter’s cancer. The fan said the family felt they were being lied to by the medical establishment andthat the song resonated withhim and helped him throughthat time.

“Something in the song spoke to him. People becomepart of the art. People put stuff in the music you don’teven know and the songs endup in some place in people’s

l iv e s , ” h esaid.

Many of hissongs start with a rhyme o r m e l o dy. Those rhymes and melodies suggest thewords, saidKeelaghan.

Keelaghan said his writ-ing processm i g h t n o tseem inter-esting if aperson was

sitting watching him.“I sit and stare and tap a

pencil on my forehead andscribble something and scratch stuff out,” he said.

Keelaghan performs anall-ages show with Hugh McMillan, on bass, and DavidWoodhead on the mandolinand guitar.

The show starts at 8 p.m.,doors open at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s United Church,located at 311 FitzwilliamSt., Sunday (Oct. 28), which is also his birthday. Tickets are $25 at the door or $20 in advance from Fascinating Rhythm or Arbutus Music.

This time it didn’t comedown to a missed fieldgoal.

The V.I. Raiders elimi-nated the Okanagan Sunfrom the playoffs in Sat-urday’s B.C. Football Con-ference semifinal with a convincing 34-8 win atCaledonia Park.

The Sun played the Raid-ers tough all season and made things interesting again in Saturday’s game,scoring a touchdown threeminutes in and holding a lead until halftime. But unlike two earlier meet-ings between the rivals, which came down to missed field goals in thefinal minute, the Raidersmade sure there was noheart-stopping finish. The home team outscored thevisitors 31-0 over the finaltwo quarters to earn theright to host next week-end’s B.C. final.

“There’s never a panicwith this team, honestly,” said Matthew (Snoop)Blokker, Raiders coach. “We just have a belief herethat we’re going to winevery game we play. Andwhen you really do believe that, then your focus stays where it needs to be.”

Nanaimo’s offence was only responsible for one point in the first half,a punt single, but V.I.’sdefence totally stymied

the Sun after giving up the early touchdown scamperto Okie’s Alex Bradley.

“Stop the run early,make them pass the ball, that was our game plan,” said Glenn Boyce, Raiders linebacker. “Everybody executed the game planreally well.”

V.I. players said Blok-ker’s halftime speech got them pumped up to start the third quarter, andit showed. Quarterback Jordan Yantz punched in

a pair of one-yard touch-down runs, Mark Muellerkicked a 28-yard field goal and then Dustin Rodriguez broke loose for a 57-yard touchdown reception.

The fourth quarter started with a Boyce inter-ception, his first of threeturnovers that he cameup with in the quarter.It led to a 14-yard touch-down reception in which V.I.’s Whitman Tomusiakcaught a tipped ball in the endzone.

Turnovers were a major factor in the game as the Raiders had a 7-1 edge in that category.

“That was pretty key,actually,” said DylanChapdelaine, Raiders line-backer. “Everyone was just in the right spot where they had to be and it was execution, really … Every-one was doing their part.”

GRID BITS … The V.I.Raiders host the LangleyRams on Saturday (Oct. 27)at 1 p.m. in the B.C. final

at Caledonia Park … Yantz finished Saturday’s game 14-for-22 for 313 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Defensively, Chapdelaine made 10 tack-les and Ariel Fabbro had six tackles and a forcedfumble. Boyce had two interceptions and a fumble recovery and TremaineApperley and Kurtis Bar-dua also had picks. Quin-ton Clarke, Ash Gayat andApperley had sacks.

Clips bitten by Grizzlies

BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN

The Nanaimo Clip-pers had a goal rico-chet in off their ownplayer, a goal tip in offwhat they thought was a high stick, and a goaldeflect in from behindthe net.

The bad bounces added up to a 3-2 loss to the Victoria Grizzlieson Saturday at FrankCrane Arena.

“In the dressing room we talked about not getting puck luck but that’s becausewe’re not working hard enough,” said Kyle Kramer, Clippersalternate captain.

Kramer and Trevor Fitzgerald scored for Nanaimo during the first 40 minutes as theteams went into thethird period tied 2-2.

Most of the third was played in the neutral zone, but then Grizz forward Leo Fitzger-ald interce pted a clearing attempt in theNanaimo zone and set up the game-winning goal.

Mike Vandekamp,Clippers coach, didn’tthink his players should have been try-ing to force offence inthe third.

“What we’re focusedon is keeping pucks out of our net and trying to play a strong systemall the time,” he said.“At a 2-2 game, you’re not going to veer off track and head down into some other pathout there on the ice totry to score.”

The win markedBill Bestwick’s first at Frank Crane Arenasince taking over ascoach of the Grizzlies for 2012-13. A matchup last month ended in a4-2 Clippers win.

“We owed him fromlast time; we let him down last time, actu-ally, and I’m reallyhappy about this win,”said Leo Fitzgerald. “I’m happy for Bill and I’m happy myself for my brothers and I and even [Brett]Hartskamp because weall played here and gottraded. So it’s huge forall of us.”

ICE CHIPS … On Fri-day the Clippers lost5-4 to the ChilliwackChiefs at Frank Crane.Kramer and Michael McNicholas scored

two goals apiece … The Clips host the Cowichan Valley Capi-tals on Friday (Oct. 26) and then host thePowell River Kings thenext night. Both games are 7 p.m. starts.
